Reaves is a waste of a roster spot and not worth anywhere close to that. Domi deal looks good though.

I can't see Raddysh getting scratched after the 2022-23 season he's had

Domi probably gets more $ than that but I like both moves. And no chance Raddysh is a scratch unless he's hurt.

You need someone to protect Bedard on this team or the league will take runs at him every night.

It will be a rotating line up. That's why I didn't send them down.

It's not the 1980s

Exactly the game is much faster and when guys get hit in 2023 its much harder. Reaves helps Bedard stay safer bottom line.

No he doesn't. Nonsense.

You need guys who can play.

For the first few years of his career, I will take the insurance policy over the border line AHL/NHL 4th line player. Much like Eager, Burrish, John Scott, Mayers did for Kane early in his career.

Like the signings but you don’t sit Raddysh in favour of Entwistle or Katchouk. I do acknowledge that you said it is a rotating roster though.

One other point, other than a cursory 7 - 9 games, there is no point in rushing Korchinski to the NHL. He is a terrific prospect but the World Jrs. and the Memorial Cup highlighted for me that his game still has a long way to go. On top of that he needs to get bigger and stronger to hang with the big boys. Send him back and let him dominate the WHL and World Jrs. this coming season.

Completely agree... with that said I think one of the reasons the Hawks have really got any of their D draft picks to flourish is because they are not really trusting any of them with solid consistent minutes. They have pushed them behind veteran stop gaps like McCabe who are solid players but are taking valuable minutes away from NHL development. Let the kids play and I think we will be better off for it.
